who is eloquent.

Final Reminder
National Shoora of Jamaat al-Muslimeen
June 17
Breaking with convention, we will meet in Ramadan. Muslims
should fremember that some of the greatest achievements of
the Prophet, pbuh, were in Ramadan including the battle of
Badr and the Conquest of Makka,.
Muslims are not supposed to go into spiritual hibernation in
Ramadan.
How should Muslims respond to the Trump era with guidance
from the Qur'an and authentic hadith?
Remember we are not on the side of the Republicans or the
Democrats. We are on the side of Islam. We are not on the
side of Abu Jahal or Abu Lahab or even Abu Sufian.
After the Prophet, pbuh, we are on the side of Abu Bakr,
Umar, Usman, Ali, Ayesha, Asma, Ruqayya, Fatima, Umm Ammara
and all the sahaba, Allah be pleased with them all.
So how should the Muslims of America move forward peacefully
and effectively.

PAKISTAN
Corruption not only in Ruling Family but many Smaller Fish too.
by Ameer al-Azeem & Qaiser Sharif
LAHORE, June 4; Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator
Sirajul Haq, has stressed that all those named in the Panama
leaks must be exposed and brought to accountability.
Speaking at an Iftar party at Mansoora on Sunday, he said
that hundreds of people besides the ruling family had been
named in the Panama leaks. These people had transferred
billions of dollars of the country abroad and they all must
be tried alongside the ruling family and the plundered
wealth brought back to the country.
He said that after the trial of the ruling family, the
accountability of the small fish would be easy but it was
essential to begin the process and those who had fled from
the country must also be brought back. Sirajul Haq said the
government earnestly desired the accountability institutions
to be toothless but this would not do now.
The JI chief condemned the price hike during the month of
Ramazan which had broken all records. He said it was
difficult for the people to manage Sehr and Iftar and they
were praying for deliverance from the rulers.
At the same time, he said, load shedding [electrical
outages] had crossed all limits and made the life of the
people in rural as well as urban areas difficult.
He said the people deserved some relief during the holy
month but the performance of the rulers was highly
disappointing.
LIAQAT
LAHORE, June 4; Secretary General, Jamaat e Islami, Liaqat
Baloch, has said that as Prime Minister, Mian Nawaz Sharif
should be more mindful of the image and prestige of the
country and the future of democracy than the prestige of his
person, his children or his family.
Speaking at an Iftar dinner in the city on Sunday, he
wondered if the dignity of high office of the Prime Minister
could be maintained in spite of so many reservations, doubts
and misgivings and the investigation about corruption. He
said that the cabinet ministers and advisors and the
elements who were more loyal than the king, were polluting
the already muddy atmosphere.
The JI Secretary General fully justified the Pak army
response to the unprovoked firing from Indian side at the
LoC causing killings every day, and said it had become
unavoidable to reply to Indian aggression. He said that
India could not close the Kashmir issue through brute force.
He said the proper course for the Indian leadership was to
stop repression in Held Kashmir and find out a respectable
way to resolve the Kashmir issue which alone could usher in
peace in the region and prevent the interference by colonial
powers interference in the area.
JI deputy chief Hafiz Muhammad Idrees, in a statement here,
said that the Pak army's response to the persistent
violations of the LoC from Indian side was the need of the
hour in order. He said that Indian bunya did not understand
the language of peace.
He said that the officers and Jawans of the Pak army were
facing a cunning enemy with courage and the entire nation
was praying for them. He said that every Pakistani stood by
the armed forces for the cause of the country's defense and
security of the motherland.

Manila's Biggest Casino hit.
Marawi City comes under Air Strikes.
Mujahideen holding back large Army force .
[From New Trend's media monitor.]
On June 1-2 night, Manila's biggest casino was hit by an
Islamic State [IS[ operative. The assailant used a high
powered rifle to shoot out the TVs and threw gasoline on the
game tables to set them alight. There was complete chaos in
the casino. The smoke was so heavy that people died or were
trampled by others trying to escape. The regime says 36 were
killed and 42 injured. The assailant made a human fire out
of himself by wrapping himself in a blanket and setting it
on fire.
Manila is insisting it was a robbery. [Trying to stop
pannic?]
The police said right away that it was a robbery because he
swept the gaming chips worth millions off the tables.
However the Islamic State took credit for the attack and
named the assailant, a Muslim. The US says it was a
terrorist attack [not a robbery]
[Gambling is forbidden in Islam and in the Philippines it is
spreading the drug culture on which the Filipino President,
Duterte, is cracking down and has executed several thousand
people.]
June 4 was the 13th day of control over Marawi by an
affiliate of the Islamic State [IS] known as Maute. The army
after being repulsed twice brought in air strikes which have
killed scores of fighters. One jet missed its mark and
killed 10 Filipino troops.
The fighters are basically a guerrilla group and are
gradually retreating into the countryside. The regime is
concerned that the mujahideen are now extimated to number
500.
Afghanistan
Afghan MOAB vs American MOAB. 90 killed.
Protests in Kabul lead to Violence,
[from New Trend's media monitor.]
On May 31, the biggest truck bomb in the history of Kabul
hit an upscale area where embassies of countries which have
recognized the Kabul regime are located.
This is a very busy area owing to the business which goes on
between Kabul Afghans and foreign governments.
The blast killed 90 people and injured more than 400.
Iranian Connection
Among the embassies which received some damage was the
embassy Iran. This is important information as it indicates
that Iran has recognized a regime installed by the US which
has close relations with Washington and houses the US
military and the CIA.
An Ugly Comparison
Some observers notice that the US dropped its biggest bomb,
described by US media as MOAB, the Mother of Akk Bombs. The
media claimed that 96 people were killed in the province of
Nangarhar where ISIS has established itself.
By comparison, this truck bomb was a response to MOAB.
Perhaps it could be called the Afghan version of MOAB. The
casualty figures are close: 90 killed.
Propaganda Chaos
India, Afghanistan regime and US media claimed that the
Kabul blast came from a group [Haqqani Network] allegedly
supported by Pakistan. In return Pakistani media claimed
that the attack was carried out by India. [Pakistani media
claim that all attacks within Pakistan, and now outside
Pakistan, are carried out by India.]
Protests
On June 2, there were public rallies in Kabul protesting the
regime's inability to stop bomb attacks. When the protestors
approached the presidential palace, police opened fire
killing 7, including the son of a "Senator" in the regime's
"parliament."
More explosions.
On June 3. at the funeral of the senator's son, three bombs
went off killing 18 people and wounding 30. The Chief
Executive Abdullah Abdullah was there but survived.
[These events indicate the rifts within the regime.]
Taliban have stated that they were not involved in any of
the bomb attacks.
Syria: Analysis & News.
Russian Missiles Hit Palmyra. Open Ended Shia
Reinforcements. US-backed forces Near Raqqa. IS Advancing on
two fronts. Daraa under severe bombing Attacks.
May 29-June 4
Reinforcements are coming in steadily for the Shia brigades
fighting on behalf of the Bashar Assad regime. Here is a
break down of the regime forces:
Hizbullah of Lebanon.
Iranian revolutionary guards.
Shia brigades from Iraq.
Shia militias from Afghanistan
Shia volunteers from Pakistan and India.
Russian troops and air force.
Alawite & Shia troops and Sunni mercenaries working for
jobs in the Assad military machine plus Assad's air force
coming in from Latakia.
In eastern Syria,
YPG Kurdish Communists.
Syrian Arab secularists.
American Special Forces with constant cover from the
American, British, French, Australian, Belgian, Canadian,
Jordanian and UAE air forces.
On the Islamic side, more than 4,000,000 unarmed Syrians who
opposed Assad have fled the country owing to Assad's brutal
policies of torture and slaughter. Thousands of prisoners
have been tortured and executed by the regime.
Opposition towns have been bombed steadily till they became
unlivable for ordinary citizens who oppose Assad. They are
choosing to be moved to provinces under Islamic control in
the west and north west of Syria.
Islamic forces received volunteers from all over the Muslim
world for about 4 years and could buy and smuggle in weapons
via Turkey. Western and Zionist media and governments raised
a hue and cry about young Muslims joining ISIS and al-Nusra
and other groups. The mujahedeen were branded as terrorists
and no government wanted to be seen as supporters of
terrorism. So now the international Muslim support for the
mujahideen has dried up and become hazardous. Turkey's
coordination with Russia, Israel and America has damaged the
channels of support for the Islamic groups.
The mujahideen both under al-Nusra and ISIS have no long
range artillery, tanks or air support. They do well in close
up fighting in which they have to sacrifice many fighters.
They are helpless against air strikes. Syria has become
happy hunting grounds for the air forces of the West,
particularly Russia and America.
The Islamic groups are volunteers and want to be martyrs but
are not united and have little central command [other than
ISIS]
Key Factor
Shia and pro-American forces can move their columns around
the country without fear of air strikes. Movements by
Islamic forces are becoming almost impossible as the air
forces of invading forces are constantly looking for
targets.
In these circumstances the existence of Islamic resistance
is miraculous and heroic.
NO MUSLIM COUNTRY HAS TROOPS IN SYRIA SUPPORTING THE
MUJAHIDEEN while Iran, Russia and America have openly joined
the war with their regular forces in uniform.
Latest Fighting
Regime forces have surrounded the Islamic State city of
Maskaneh on the eastern edge of Aleppo province. Severe
bombing campaign by Russian & shelling by Iran.
A Russian frigate and a submarine in the Mediterranean
fired 4 of Russia's most sophisticated missiles and
successfully hit Islamic State forces in Palmyra.
Islamic State [IS] launched an offensive against Assad's
forces which were trying to relieve an Alawite garrison in
Deir ez Zor. The offensive successfully gained ground but is
being bombed by Russia.
Kurdish SDF forces are only a few kilometers away from
the northern approaches of al-Raqqa and are backed by
American air strikes.
YPG [SDF] Kurdish forces advancing from the south towards
al-Raqqa. had reached al-Baath Dam but have been brought to
a standstill by a strong IS counterattack.
US air attacks on al-Mayadin south east of Deir Ezzor
which killed a record number of women and children [see
previous New Trend] are continuing and have killed scores
more of women and children. These are families of Islamic
State fighters who left al-Raqqa owing to daily bombing by
the US air force. [It is reported that Meeshal, the head of
IS's news agency Aamaq, and his daughter, were killed in one
of these air strikes but this could not be confirmed.]
At Hajr al-Aswad and Yarmuk enclaves abutting Damascus,
clashes are going on between Islamic State fighters
[Palestinians] and Assad's elite troops.
Assad's Hizbullah and Iranian forces are trying to
destroy the FSA mujahedeen opposition in Daraa city and its
environs. At least 31 ground to ground missiles and 38
barrel bombs plus 37 air strikes have been launched at the
Muslim resistance [June 6]. Also Hizbullah is clashing with
IS's local group known as Khalid bin Waleed brigade in
another area of Daraa province.
Heavy fighting is reported from central Syria where north
of Hama al-Nusra is trying to advance and further north IS
is trying to advance, both against Hizbullah of Lebanon and
Shia militias. Minor advances owing to Russian bombing.
Iraq
Mosul Week 33. Trump week 19.
Muslim Stalingrad. A City which refuses to surrender.
Attacks on Inner City Foiled. US-Backed Regime Used White
Phosphorous.
Attempts by the Shia forces to enter the enter the inner
city of Mosul were foiled by stiff Islamic State resistance
May 29-June 4.
Tanks and jet bombers cannot operate in the inner city which
requires man to man combat. After suffering heavy losses
throughout the week the US-backed armada backed off. The
Islamic flag is flying on the Nuri mosque.
Owing to lack of food, water and electricity, the people of
Mosul are streaming out of the city looking for survival.
The Zionist propaganda machine is blaming IS. There is the
ongoing bombing campaign by the US air force and the regime
air force. More than a thousand civilians have been killed.
The people are terrified.
The claim that the regime cares for civilians was suddenly
falsified by this event:
On June 3, the regime forces became desperate and used white
phosphorous on Mosul. It is a weapon outlawed under
international law and is considered a crime against
humanity.
It was last used by Israel in Gaza.
The white phosphorous attack would have remained
unpublicized but a TV channel which was streaming video at
the time of the attack caught it. The regime is threatening
to take legal action against the TV outlet Kurdistan 24. It
has still been ignored by the BBC and American media.
Al Jazeera is the rare exception and this is how it reported
the attack on June 3
Iraq to probe use of white phosphorus in Mosul
Video images from Saturday's battles show highly incendiary
munitions used against ISIL in western Mosul.
Iraqi officials have said they will investigate allegations
that their forces used white phosphorus against areas held
by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also
known as ISIS) group in western Mosul.
"[We] cannot deny nor confirm - we are investigating into
this news and will come up with a statement to clear things
up for the public," a spokesman for Iraqi Ministry of
Defence Brigadier General Yahiya Rasoul told Al Jazeera.
A Kurdish TV crew was streaming live on Saturday when Iraqi
forces used
what look to be highly incendiary munitions.
Shortly after clips of the alleged attack were aired, Iraqi
military media issued a statement threating to take legal
action against media outlets publishing pictures or video of
the event.
Mark Hiznay, the Associate Arms Director of Human Rights
Watch, told Al Jazeera: "The pictures show
artillery-delivered WP (white phosphorus) being air-burst.
The video is more difficult to assess because of the angle
it was shot at."
GUIDANCE
RIYADU-SWALEHEEN: - Chapter: 2. on Repentance AHADITH 13 TO
15
[with thanks to Br. Zaheer Bawany in Pakistan.]
Scholars say that it is a duty to repent of every wrong
action. If it is disobedience which occurs between a person
and Allah and does not involve the right of another human
being, repentance has three preconditions. The first is that
one divest himself of disobedience. The second is that he
regret doing it. The third is that he resolve not to ever
return to it. If one of the three is lacking, then his
repentance is not sound.
If it involves another human being, repentance has four
preconditions: these three and that he discharges his duty
to the other person. If it is money or the like, he pays it
to him. If it is a hadd-punishment because of slander and
the like it, he give him power over himself or seeks his
pardon. If it is slander, he undoes it, He must repent of
all wrong actions. If he repents of some of them, the people
of truth say that his repentance of them is sound, but he
still has the rest. There is much evidence in the Book, the
Sunna and the consensus of the Community about the
obligation to repent.
Allah Almighty says, "Turn towards Allah, O believers, every
one of you, so that perhaps you will have success,"
(24:31)
and the Almighty says, "Ask your Lord for forgiveness and
then turn in repentance to Him," (11:3)
and the Almighty says, "O you who believe! Turn in sincere
repentance to Allah." (66:8)
Abu Hurayra said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'By Allah, I ask
Allah's forgiveness and turn towards Him in repentance more
than seventy times a day."
Al-Agharr ibn Yasar al-Muzani said that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "O
people! Turn in repentance towards Allah and ask His
forgiveness. I turn towards Him a hundred times a
day."[Muslim]
Abu Hamza Anas ibn Malik al-Ansari, the servant of the
Messenger of Allah reported that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah is happier
about the repentance of one His slaves than one of you would
be about finding your camel which had strayed away from you
in the middle of the desert."[Agreed upon]
In the variant of Muslim, "Allah has greater joy at the
repentance of one His slaves when he turns towards him.
